Dance Opportunities for Teens in "The Spongebob Musical"
Performers ages 16 and up are encouraged to audition for "The Spongebob Musical". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Plunge into this stunning all-singing, all-dancing, dynamic stage show! When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope lost, a most unexpected hero rises up. The power of optimism really can save the world! Rate: All actors offered a role in the show will be paid a non-union stipend. Additional info: Participants will sing and dance in groups in their time slot. Please plan to be at the initial audition for about 2 hours from when your audition time begins. Auditioners will first complete a vocal audition for the production team and then will learn a dance combination from the choreographer. All auditioners will participate in the dance call during the general calls, regardless of desired roles. Please come to the audition dressed in comfortable clothing for dance/movement for the full audition, as directors will not have space for everyone to change after vocal auditions are complete. Due to the structure of the audition process, directors request that participants arrive 15 minutes before their audition start time. This allows sufficient time to sign in, and helps to ensure we run on time throughout the day. Vocal Audition: Please come prepared with 32 bars of a song in the style of the show and be prepared to sing in a character voice resembling the role you are auditioning for. Please do not choose a song from the show. An accompanist will be provided so please bring your audition song in a binder in the key you would like to sing in with any cuts clearly marked. Dance Audition: Please come to the audition dressed in your dance attire, and warm up and stretch before you arrive or while you wait to sing. Directors will move directly into the dance audition as soon as the last person in the group has sung for the production team. Please wear soft-soled shoes such as sneakers or jazz shoes. Please avoid heels (including character shoes) or hard-soled shoes as the dance call will take place on a hard, semi-slick surface. Callbacks will be held on Sunday, January 5th, 2025. The production is scheduled to open on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, and close on Saturday, August 16, 2025. Rehearsals are scheduled to begin on Monday, June 9, 2025. Please Note: This is a very large musical so preference will be given in casting to those with the fewest conflicts during the process. Directors will not be accepting any conflicts for tech rehearsals and performances. If interested, please apply.
